The Systems Science and Engineering (SSE) program specializes in those aspects of engineering that pertain to effectiveness of whole systems. In contrast to other engineering specialties which are grounded in certain aspects of science, system engineering is grounded primarily in mathematics and methodology. The core curriculum focuses on mathematical modeling and simulation, rather than on particular physical sciences. To assure that designs are responsive to real needs, students learn how to model, simulate, optimize, integrate and evaluate systems.

Scholarships

Financial aid policies for U.S. citizens and permanent residents:

Need-Blind Admission

– Admissions decisions are not affected by a student’s ability to pay, or by applying for financial aid.

Penn Meets Full Need

– Like other Ivy League universities, Penn does not offer aid based on academic or athletic merit. Aid is based solely on financial need, and Penn is committed to meeting 100% of a student’s determined need.

Financial aid policies for International Students:

Need-Based Grants and Scholarships

• Penn Grant : This grant is awarded from general University funds and is based on evaluated financial need.
• University Named Scholarships : These scholarships are provided through direct gifts to the University and privately endowed funds established by alumni and friends. Named scholarships enable Penn to continue its two-fold commitment to admit students solely on the basis of academic merit, and to meet 100% of a student’s financial need. All scholarships are need-based, so students must complete the financial aid process. Student Financial Services selects recipients based on the scholarship’s criteria; no separate application is necessary.

For 2011–2012, Penn is committing over $149 million to need based grant aid for undergraduate students. Approximately 81% of the freshmen who applied for financial aid for the 2011–2012 academic year received a need-based award.

International Exchange & Double Degrees

The Department of Electrical and Systems Engineering now offers College Students the opportunity to pursue either Electrical Science or Systems Science as a second major within the College. Under this Program, a College student will receive one diploma from the College of Arts and Sciences with a dual major.

Internships

Internship and summer opportunities is available for undergraduates.

Requirements

Research & Technical Papers

The Department’s research foci are the three main areas of Electroscience, Systems Science, and Network Systems and Telecommunications. All three have significant overlap between themselves as well as the research conducted within other departments of the School of Engineering and Applied Science.

Electrosciences includes electromagnetics and photonics, sensors and MEMS, VLSI, and nanotechnology. Systems Science covers signal processing, optimization, simulation, control and cybernetics, complex adaptive systems, stochastic processes, and decision sciences. Network Systems and Telecommunications is concerned with networks, communications, logistics and manufacturing, transportation, and infrastructure engineering.
